Will Croker be back?
Think it would be a bit limited where Froggy could slot in within reason apart from a 9 role . Aware of some suggestions as a 13 but again could see some restrictions there unless the rotation was in a desperate [ or part ] situation . Think that him being suited in a 6 role has long passed and...- manly al

The Daly Cherrygraph
Not that it should be any general concern from a Manly perspective but could be some doubt if D C E may even get or close to a mil $ deal in 26 particularly at the Dolphins . And if a i mil deal has not already been tentatively agreed to at the Roosters and with a couple of their real good...- manly al

Pre-Game Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]
Noticed one forecast with rain easing around Sydney into tomorrow night which may assist Manly . Good that the Manly pack is pretty much intact and no reason why they can not go on with it after that solid Cows showing and backline shifts were much better last week also so some improved...- manly al

Pre-Game Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]
Probably best for Arthur to play just a simplified type role , attack and organizing wise and ideally to hold his own defensively . Probably still has not bad footwork close to the line and that could be a slightly different matter when well in the Eels red zone and maybe occasionally taking...- manly al

Will Croker be back?
Looks like Froggy has been mainly included to give Simpkin a rest for whatever time . Jazz to put most time at 13 all things normal , Brown to be used as a general middle . Really don "t think that Froggy has any edge over Simpkin and even if he probably can soon get some match fitness . Fair...- manly al

Joey Walsh
Tony Williams playing as a 6 must have been daunting for the opposition and showed a bit of skill level with the ball from memory . Probably a bit under utilized in that area when in the Manly i st grade pack but could have been other reasons as well- manly al

Pre-Game Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]
Somehow , Turbo managed to hold his own against the Panthers [ just ] Struggled against the Sharks to put it mildly . Wasn 't moving too bad against the Cowboys , seemed more a confidence and timing issue with some of his blues . No doubt still not 100 % fitness wise but thereabouts , quite...- manly al

Joey Walsh
You are pretty much on point with your general posting but unless my recollection is i bit off . Quite sure that Sunshine coast win was in 2009 with Trent Hodgkinson the 7 and T . Rex as the 6 in the final , Then in 2010 , D C E with a full season with Sunshine coast coming from the 20 "s...- manly al

Can’t believe we’re 6th
Would think that the Roosters should eventually get or finish into the 8 , not sure about Souths and the Panthers . Current top 5 sides should be expected to make the cut , unless the Warriors and Raiders have a late season fade out . Not sure about the Cows but Manly , just like a host of...- manly al

Jake T.
Still has something to offer providing his recent concussions don 't become a recurring problem . When Tent returns and into next season , guess that it may come down to he , T K O and Jake best starting prop options but Bully and of course ideally still with the club looks like he could be in...- manly al

NSW Cup 2025
Lodge is certainly making a statement to be given another shot in i st grade . Disappointing end performance wise last season but looks like could still have something to offer . Scoupp has looked quite average in the centres this year but had the notion that he may go all right on an edge and...- manly al

Joey Walsh
Big call all right for Walsh to be coming into consideration for a call up as a run on half or even bench spot . Still , if it is coming down to options , looks like the only other consideration would be J A . as the game day 7 Gave Humphreys a go at 7 about mid season last tear , was a bit...- manly al

Must be a nightmare for U S tariff regulators and their major trading partners trying to adjust to some of ever changing tariff imposts but fortunately may be settling down a bit in recent times .

Caleb Navale
Probably could have given Bully some more game time as well but no doubt the coaching staff could see how the trend of the game was going and a horses for courses approach and looked like the right calls were made . No questioning of Navale 's potential however- manly al

Post-Game Discussion Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]
Team on a mission last night and total credit all round including the coaching staff to manage a team and winning effort considering the circumstances leading up to the game . Maybe the Cowboys a bit off their game but Manly's defence was pretty resolute and determined , numbered up well...- manly al

Game Day: Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]
Just try and get back to the basics and completion rates up again No more important game for the higher ranked players to step up Win to probably stay in the 8 ,, so hopefully that should be an incentive enough- manly al

Jake T.
Jake 's form is the least of the team's problems , still putting in and solid defence . Mistakes and turning over the ball again cruelled Manly 's chances against the Sharks and in complete contrast to the prior Panthers game .and thought that Jake and Burbo were two of Manly 's better...- manly al

Matt Ballin for coach?
Club coaching staff don 't always get it right but after that difficult start including that off season illness , Walsh has now progressed from Flegg to N S W cup and now in the i st grade reserve listing in a fairly short time . So can only conclude that he is coming on quite well and is...- manly al

Will always rate Matty Ballin an excellent and model footy player but does not look the same success level equates to his coaching ability or at a higher type level- manly al
